Welcome to Litsy!

This is hard to pin down. It‘s well-written, the narrator compelling, it‘s important...but I didn‘t like it or enjoy reading it.

Keir is graduating from high school, and everyone will tell you he‘s a good guy. But his senior year becomes a slippery slope of partying and poor decisions, exacerbated by poor parental oversight. Vandalism, harassment, and eventually date rape are all explained away as “misunderstandings.”

Read this after Speak.

I had seen this book possibly hundreds of times before. It is only after the election that I am curious to see what the perspective of the main character, an accused rapist, is.

Today's haul from my fave little consignment shop, the Etcetera Shoppe in Meredith, NH! The best part is I got the whole stack for under $40. #TBRTuesday #underthelitfluence
